it seems xfce4-terminal 0.4.0-1 don't set tab titles anymore
now new tab have "No title" instead "initial title"

in preferences "dynamically-set title" is set to "isn't displayed" and worked fine in old releases (until 0.2.12-3)

That is on purpose. The dynamically-set title only applies to the window title, for tabs all the same names is pretty useless, and pre-pending for example "Terminal - " also makes no sense.

does make sense to have "No title" instead?

I prefer old behaviour

now I have to set it manually and is very boring (or force to use the 
PROMPT_COMMAND variable in .bashrc that involve every other terminal)
Comment 3 Nick Schermer editbugs 2009-08-11 07:25:34 CEST
Well i can change the behavior to show the initial title in the tab if 'isn't diplayed' is selected, that's not a problem, but all the other 3 'dynamically-set title' options will result in only the vte, custom or "Untitled" titled in the tab.
